4 months old

Yes, yes I know this post is long overdue...especially considering that Sawyer is no longer 4 months old. I'll actually be writing two posts tonight since I've been slacking in the posting department. Sawyer is now 5 months old, but hey...better late than never, right?!

Highlights from this month (August):

-she weighed in at 17 lbs. 12 oz at her 4 month check up and is 25 inches long (well into 90th percentile for both)

-she is grabbing anything and everything she can

-all that she grabs....goes straight into her mouth

-she watches us like a hawk while we are eating

-she started cereal and eats it like a champ...she doesn't let any go to waste!

-she drools a TON...you would swear she's teething but the doc says it'll still be a while before she cuts a tooth

-She starting to like her jumperoo more...possibly because her toes are just now touching the floor haha

-she has found her voice and boy is it LOUD!! We absolutely love hearing her "talk"

-she tries to mimic the faces and noises we make at her

-naps still take place in her swing

-she holds my hand and plays with it when she is falling asleep...it melts my heart.

-she giggles and it sounds like heaven!

-when she smiles, she smiles with her entire body...it's like she just can't contain it

-she started daycare on August 8th and I couldn't be happier with how well she has adapted

-tummy time is getting better, she lifts her head and shoulders up completely and can keep them up for a while before getting mad

-car rides scare Momma now...I always pray she sleeps the whole time and you better believe that the second the car stops...she starts crying and of course I would get stopped at every dang stop light there is!

-she sleeps through the night in her crib

-she has blowouts nonstop

-she has rolled over from back to belly a couple of times

I started back at work August 14th, which is why this post is so LATE! The beginning of the school year is so hectic...even more so now since I am having to adjust to being a working mom! It has definitely been struggle learning how to manage my time to try and get everything done! Needless to say, the majority of things that I accomplish and get done are on my priority list and everything else falls to the side. Luckily the dust is settling and our routines are set in place and we are getting the hang of it all.  

Mommy's first day back at work!

Having fun at daycare :)
